Your poster should have a clear message, a logical layout and be easy to comprehend.
Make sure that the specific sections: background, methods, results and conclusions) are easy to locate.
Avoid large blocks of text and long sentences.
Make sure that the type/font size is large enough to be read at a distance of 1.5 meters (five feet). The smallest type should at least be 18 pts for text and 36 pts for headings.
Supporting images (graphs, tables, illustrations, photographs…) can be very helpful and are often necessary to display results. Make sure that the images are easy to understand, and not overloaded with information.
Good contrast between the color of the type and the poster's background is necessary for good visualization.
